1. Turnovers are a light, airy puff pastry filled with something lovely like lemon curd, apples, or even something savory like "chick'n and cheeze". These are not popovers, which are more like a dense, quick bread.

2. Cherries have high levels of antioxidants and are excellent sources of naturally occurring melatonin. Traverse City, Michigan claims to be the "Cherry Capital of the World." They have a National Cherry Festival and make the world's largest cherry pie.

How will you celebrate today?

Happy National Cherry Turnover Day!
